What are tips for quetzal? Tips and strategies for quetzal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I only saw this once when I was riding a pteranodon, I was unprepared and inexperienced at the time. Now I have a tapejara and a good longneck rifle but I've been flying around the red obelisk for a while now and still no quetz
Solo taming is a ton easier now with a Tapejara. Fly near to the quetz, get off, get in the front passenger seat and whistle attack target on the quetz. Get your tranqs out and shoot it down with ease! (Also it's an exciting chase around the map, though on PvP you might have to watch out for enemy bases)
U can use a griffen as well it's more way easier than all the tames because u can use longneck or crossbow while flying and riding at the same time
I just had my pal fly a dragon while I’m on it shooting it
USE TAPIJERA
1. GO NEAR QUZTEL CHANGE SIT
2. TAKE OUT YOUR LONGNECK RIFLE
3.SHOOT TRANQ DARTS OR SHOKING TRANQUIL DARTS
Vá para o obrlísco vermelho, pelo menos perto dele e se não tiver nenhum, mate algumas criaturas pra ter espaço pro spawn dele
Ive read a few of these tips... Why aren't people using a griffon to shoot from it while flying? I just did that easily they aren't fast flyers. Only downfall was it fell on trees and even after cutting trees down it stayed in mid air... Then for some reason when i need griff to stay stationary while i exit.. It doesnt want to stay still.. And sinomacrops and opening up inventory doesnt work fast enough either lol I just gave up and went to sleep.
Not a lot if people know this but one of the best places to fu d quetzals are around the mountains and top and bottom right sides of the map.
Something you can do if you dont wanna go through the pain of knocking it out of the sky is to kill it then respawn it at an obelisk or respawning platform and have a taming cage built around it(that's how I tamed most of my dinos😂)
Mobile Taming Method
° Usually located at Red Obelisk
° Use Tapejara or Griff ( Griff is a bit more reccomended )
° Use Toxicant or any other torpor item
° Chase for a few minutes
° Quetz is down
° Feed it rex kibble or meat
( ◎ Optional : Soothing balm )
° Play the waiting game ( you can also use biotoxin or narcotics )
☆ You now have a giant tame transporter.
What tapejara level do I need to tame a quetzal? Answer using numbers
I recommend watching a YouTube video on how to use and argentavis and a grappling hook to tame this
Are these supposed to be super rare cuz on my single player save there's to in the sky kinda low like every time I look up into the sky ps I my base is on cragg's lsland
These guys are annoying to knock out so make sure it's protected as when I knocked mine out it had 38 health and a bloody bug killed it
Found mine (level 45) at lat 42.7 long 65.8
Spent two (irl) days looking for one on my Singleplayer Island game, was about to throw in the towel and spawn in a wild one to tame then BAM, I got the dopamine hit I was waiting for when I saw that big mother flapping about. Landed my tapejara, loaded up the longneck with darts and set my Tappy to follow and attack, after a length chase shooting darts from the passenger seat brought him down near the swamps, west coast. Solo tame. Finally!!!!!
Ride a Griffin then take out a rifle . Shoot it then keep following it entail it stops runing then shoot again and again entill it's knocked out . Also if on ragnorok look for it in the wyvern trench or proferably in the ice regions but watch out for yutyranuses !
Ride a flying mount... Anything- pterandon, argy, pelagornis, tapejera... You don't even need to ride it... Just shoot it with a grappling hook and order it go to a specific location, you can do this continuously by whistling it to fly you around... As long as you're grappled to it, you can use any melee weapon... This works for literally any monster that you want to tame, but don't want to get close too... Just hover above your target and shoot at it... No building traps or standing on cliffs... The sky is the limit... It took me a year to figure this out... I've never seen anybody do it on YouTube or anywhere else, but I did it today on a vanilla official server... I tamed my first quetzal and named it Pretzel... It's torpor drains really quick so I kept it sedated with a combination of berries and narcotics... I fed it prime meat and mutton... YW
Tame it using a tapi. Get on the front seat, then set your tapi to attack a creature on the ground. Before it attacks the creature, whistle go here toward the Quetzal. From there you can just continue to follow the Quetzal by typing go here while you're tranking it.
